Viewing Multiple Servers Using the Scan Mode

The Viewer allows you to simultaneously view multiple servers through the
Thumbnail Viewer of the Scan mode. This view contains a series of thumbnail
frames, each containing a small, scaled, non-interactive version of a server's
screen image. The server name displays below each thumbnail as well as the
status indicator.

Scanning Your Servers

Using the Thumbnail Viewer, you can set up a scan sequence of up to 16 servers
to monitor your servers. The scan mode moves from one thumbnail image to the
next, logging into a server and displaying an updated server image for a user-
specified length of time (View Time Per Server), before logging out of that
server and moving on to the next thumbnail image. You can also specify a scan
delay between thumbnails (Time Between Servers). During the delay, you will
see the last thumbnail image for all servers in the scan sequence, though you
won't be logged into any servers.

An indicator light at the bottom of each frame displays the status of the server.
The default thumbnail size is based on the number of servers in the scan list.
